If you have been hoping for vibrant, cool and quirky collections from the fabric designers this year, it looks like you won't be disappointed judging by what's on offer from Amy Butler, Anna Maria Horner and Tina Givens. But my favourite so far is the Urban Farm range from Keri Beyer of In the Beginning. Spot the cows, anyone?

Who would like to see a book full of quilt designs that make the most of this sort of fresh and funky fabric? Just let me know and I'll be on to it like a flash!

More soon
